We love this performance skirt for its versatility; the built-in shorts are moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and structured with a pocket to slide your phone into. The gray-white colorway creates a polished look, while the asymmetrical, wavy pleated skirt design adds extra whimsy and would look great with any monochrome athletic top in your wardrobe.

Billed as “preloved red,” this fiery tangerine course is juicy and bright, perfect for enlivening (via intimidation?!) your foursome dynamics. Made in part with recycled polyester, this skort features discreet front zip pockets hidden in the pleats, as well as a back pocket; so plenty of room for all the belongings and good luck charms you need to crush the course.

For an innovative take to the pleated trend, this skirt is all minimalist elegance in the front and wavy box pleat in the back, perfect for moving with you as you strut your stuff on the course. It comes in classic white or navy, which are both ideal for pairing with a nostalgic varsity sweater or long-sleeve polo.

You wouldn’t know from the looks of it that this skirt is made for serious play. Designed for sports like tennis, this skirt translates perfectly to golf. High-waisted and flattering, this stretchy, machine-washable number was designed with all body types in mind. While it comes in a whole cast of colors from “Mars Clay” to “Chalk Blue,” as well as your classic black and white. This Dark Plum option is a bit more unique in the world of golf performance apparel; it’s sumptuous like red wine and bright like those little wildflowers you love to see spring up along the roughs this time of year.

Female-founded Hedge has a whole roster of pleated skirts to choose from, with arguably the most unique being this tutu rendition. Who among us doesn’t want to feel like a bouncy ballerina or fluttering fairy on the course? (Leaping and flying would certainly make finding stray golf balls all the easier!) While fanciful in feel, this skirt is extremely practical and designed for serious play, thanks to the 100 percent cooling lined cotton batiste fabric and deep pockets for any spare change, ball markers, tees, pixie dust, etc.

Another preppy take on the silhouette, this sandstone-hued rendition features wider box pleats that look refined when still and swingy as you swing and dance along the course. Wrinkle-resistant technology, a slightly high-waist, and roomy interior pockets along the liner shorts add to the appeal.

From Greyson’s summer debut of elegant floral prints, this teal number is a little Victorian, a little woodsy, and a lot of sublime. Made from Italian fabric with polyester-and-spandex blend, the waistband adds an ornate, polished look plus extra support.

Toeing the line between stark and minimalist, this ethically-made skirt is spun from recycled polyester stretch twill that’s uber light, so you can make big moves as you waltz around the course.

Made in part from recycled water bottles, this essential skort features a streamlined front for performance and breezy pleats in the back for style and comfort. It’s stretchy, quick-drying, and offers much-needed protection from harmful, sunny UV rays.

From Lilly Pulitzer’s vibrant line of athletic wear, this airy seersucker fabric pairs effortlessly with the cerulean stripes and curly pink design along the hemline—all of which mirror the folds in the pleated silhouette.

And speaking of sporty stripes, this color-blocked navy skort evokes the timelessness of marine style. Sealing the deal is a reflective skipjack tuna decal Southern Tide is known for. We also love the gripper elastic on the interior shorts, and nylon spandex fabrication for breathable stretch designed to last several seasons.

This whimsical skirt is a little secret garden, a little British prep; the elegant navy canvas is animated by a printed ivy vertical design running along the side like a racer stripe. It’s flattering, has a longer hem for more coverage and the clever color-blocked side panel design accentuates the on-trend technical pleats.

For a slightly more haute couture upgrade, this snazzy option, though hitting well above the knees, has a lot going on thanks to the two-toned pleating design and asymmetrical, slightly wrap-style accent ribbing along the waistline.

Last but not least, here is an elegant, stylish performance skirt that’s cut to a mid-length, making it perfect for those cooler days when you need a bit extra protection, or for the taller ladies out there who want a skirt that looks absolutely made-for-them. A zipped pocket, attached undershorts, and the lily-white hue make this a versatile, activity-proof look.
